If your parcel arrives damaged, take clear photos of the package and contents and contact hello@saio.world with your order number. We'll guide you through the next steps.

Responsibility transfers when you (or a person designated by you) physically receive the parcel. If you notice issues at delivery, document them immediately and contact us.
